FiiO E17K Alpen 2

FiiO is proud to introduce E17KAlpen 2 portable headphone amplifier and DAC with a multitude of improvements to the predecessor. FiiO E17K Alpen 2 both replaces PC on-board sound cards as the primary audio decoder, as well as provide high quality sound amplification and ability to drive power hungry high-end headphones.

With an all-new, unique multifunctional wheel, responding to both turns and presses, the E17K provides intuitive and agile control in one spot in place of several buttons on the E17. FiiO E17K inherits the brushed metal crafting of the E17, but with fewer button in front and a thinner profile for a sleeker look.

FiiO E17K expands on the industry standard Micro-USB socket to not only provide charging and data exchange connectivity, but also to dock with FiiO's future desktop products. Another change is the coaxial digital input supporting up to 192kHz/24bit PCM input, and dual-function line-in / line-out port for maximum convenience.

This generation audio.

Multifunction WheelE17K has been equipped with an ingenious multifunctional wheel that can reacts to turning of the wheel or pressing of the wheel. This allows the E17K Alpen 2 to eliminate several buttons and offers practical and intuitive control of E17K's functionality.

Uncompromising SoundThe E17K uses Texas Instrument's PCM5102, which possesses higher S/N ratio, lower distortion and more linear digital-analogue conversion characteristics. Also equipped with the flagship OPA1622 as low-pass filter, and the OPA1642+LMH6643 in a OP+BUFF architecture usually only seen in high-end units.

USB Audio DecodingEquipped with SA9027 USB receiver, the E17K can be used as an external sound card for computers, supporting up to 96kHz/32bit and DSD decoding, with ASIO driver and SACD plug-in.

Complete ConnectivityFiiO E17K has been armed with standard Micro-USB connection for charging and data connection. This also replaces the previous 18-pin proprietary connection for docking future FiiO devices. Further connections include coaxial digital input and dual line-in and line-out port.
